      It is tempting to assume that older gamers exclusively play low-fidelity games on their smartphones. This is simply untrue.

      While mobile is certainly the biggest part of the games market in terms of revenues, 55+ gamers account for 23% of monthly PC gamers and 11% of monthly console gamers.

      Yeah the conflation of mobile gaming with PC and console gaming is just bad. I don’t know how the cut should be made tbh but this seems silly.

      On the other side, more and more midlife+ in online games like Helldivers, cod and such.
